Topic: Theophile Gautier


  
  Théophile Gautier
Gautier always said he remained true to the choices he made in 1830, and in a certain way, he did, even though his work evolved towards estheticism, he remained a romantic to the end as witnessed in his "Histoire du Romantisme".
Gautier wrote over 1,200 articles, always raging against the restrictions imposed by a daily pressandmdash; his only real breadwinner, which was also an obstacle to his writing a great work.
In much of Gautier's work, the subject is less important than the pleasure of telling the story: more than a supporter of art for art's sake, he favored a provocative style to the detriment of the story.

In Gautiers case these freaks were not inconsistent with real genius and real devotion to sound ideals of literature.
Gautiers power was literary power pure and simple, and it is as evident in his slightest sketches and criticisms as in Emaux et cames or La Merle amoureuse.
As time goes on it may be predicted that, though Gautier may not be widely read, yet his writings will never cease to be full of indescribable charm and of very definite instruction to men of letters.

 Théophile Gautier (Getty Museum)
Gautier was a poet and journalist who championed the concept of "art for art's sake," that is, that art need serve no other purpose than to exist for its own achievement.
He later softened his approach, explaining that, "smitten in my youngest years with painting and sculpture, I became a delirious lover of art…." Gautier and Nadar were lifelong friends.

 A Romantic in Spain
For Gautier, Spain promised the allure of an exotic and passionate culture; it was a revelation, he said later, like discovering his true home, the native land of his spirit.
By turns lyrical and acerbic, Gautier's narrative reveals a Spain in transition, emerging from civil war and a feudal past into the modern world.
It was a country plagued by bandits, where Gautier endured fly-blown cafés and flea-ridden inns, but his passion for Spanish architecture, landscape, and music remained undimmed throughout his five-month journey.

In October 1851, when he had just turned forty, Gautier agreed to a request for biographical information from Armand Baschet, who was planning an article on him.
Today, Gautier is perhaps best known for his short stories, particularly the fantastic tales, which are frequently anthologised, and for his novels le Capitaine Fracasse (1863), a swashbuckling tale that masks a strong and poignant autobiographical content, and le Roman de la Momie (1858), set in ancient Egypt.
He longed to be liberated from the tedium of his weekly newspaper articles, but despite considerable official support, he was never elected to the Académie française, and his government appointments and subsidies were never sufficient.

A well-known 19th-century French journalist and writer, Gautier began his career as an artist, which explains the unusual depth of visual detail and color in his writing.
Clearly, he doesn't write to satisfy a tourist office but instead to give his own lively reactions to Spain, which at the time was relatively unknown to the rest of the world.
And Gautier's account of the perils of carriage travel, country inns, and local cooking show us what modern tourists are missing as they travel across Spain today.
